Mike was excellent to work with as our listing agent for the sale of a home we inherited. He is very knowledgeable regarding the local housing market. He did a great job setting expectations for us and making sure the process was smooth. We were remote, out of state, sellers so Mike's personal approach was re-assuring. We were very pleased with the entire process and results. K. SeipMichael Santini

Mike Santini is one of the most honest, courteous realtors I have ever dealt with. I can only speak from my experience, he went above and beyond for me. I had a difficult situation and Mike made me feel it would all be fine. All he said was "Trust Me" which was not an easy task because I had a previous realtor that was taking advantage of my situation. Mike becomes personally involved, he became my friend, my protector and truly had my best interests at heart. I was a divorced mother with a home that was strapping me not only financially but, mentally and emotionally as well. When would have the occasional meltdown, Mike would say "stop worrying, let me do my job". It took some time but he was a man of his word and sold my home and then helped me find another rental. I would sometimes laugh because we would go look at a place and he would walk in and say "Oh no! This is not the place for you " and we would walk out. Who does that! Most realtors in my experience want the commission, not Mike, he wants what is best for his client. I still to this day reach out to him with questions and he is like talking to an old friend. Always there and always helpful. Mike Santini is far more than a broker/realtor, he is a king among men! (At least in my opinion)"

After my mother passed away in March 2015 I knew I had a big job ahead of me emptying 68 years of living in her home. When I asked Marguerite Caruso to sell Mom's house I knew she would put her all into it. That's her work ethic.
From beginning to the closing. From suggestions of how to dilute the contents, staging the house for the best brochure pictures, and deciding on a realistic selling price. The house was bought by a couple who absolutely loved it. My parents home served its purpose for many years and now was ready for the next family to it make it their home.
Then.....in 2016 I wanted to sell my condo. No doubt Marguerite used her professional skills once again and we sold my home $9k more than I purchased it 5 years before.
If I had another home to sell Marguerite is the gal I would call. She and the Golden Key staff make every effort to ensure their clients are delighted when selling or buying a home.

"We had never sold a home before and Lori walked us through the entire process. From making sure the house was perfect for photos, to holding the Open House, to presenting the multiple offers, we were entirely comfortable working with Lori. We had multiple offers from our Open House and she called each offer to ensure they were presenting their very best to us, for consideration. When our initial buyer lost his job, Lori had contacted other buyers (whose offers we hadn't accepted) that very same day to have a new offer for us as she delivered the bad news of the job loss. We were full of questions - mostly "what's next?" - and she explained things so the average 'lay person' could understand. She was very responsive and followed up on everything. I would hope all home sellers could have the same positive experience we did. When you're putting your largest asset on the line, it's nice to know Lori is working with you!"

"I was the executor of the estate and had a lot of things that needed to be dealt with as part of getting this house ready to be sold. For anyone who has ever been an executor they are aware that as soon as your information appears in the court papers the vultures come to pick the carcass clean. I easily had 15 offers on the house long before it was listed. You can take one of these low offers and walk away, or with the right agent helping you tackling this task is not bad. Chris was the right agent and he watched out for my best interests throughout the whole process. Chris helped me find the right contractors to get the estate home cleaned and ready for sale. These contracts came when we were ready for them and did great work. With Chris's help it only took about 2 months to get the house emptied, cleaned, and ready for sale. During this time I was on Business travel for 2 weeks and Chris continued to check in and make sure things were still moving along, including stopping by the house to check in on things. Once the house was ready we sat down and went through comps and agreed on a listing price that was fair and reasonable to allow for a quick sale. House sold within 2 weeks of listing. However Chris didn't stop there, he continued to monitor the process to help ensure that any obstacles to a timely closing where addressed. We closed in about 40 days. Throughout the whole process Chris kept in touch as often as necessary to keep things moving. We talked almost daily, even if it was just to say "have you heard anything"."Chris Kvederas

"Working with Chris was as easy an experience as you could imagine, selling my mothers home after her passing was not easy by any means! However Chris was super attentive understanding of my feelings and did everything in a manner that made the process very simple! He has an amazing network of professionals to help take care of just about anything that popped up during the process as well! I would recommend him to anyone I know because he is the real deal and caring beyond measure!"Chris Kvederas

Mike is awesome...he's a part of our family! J. Regan
